Broadband TV News: Netflix takes next step in tackling account sharing

Story from Broadband TV News:

Netflix will launch an alternative “add a home” feature in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras next month.

In a blog, the company says that this follows the launch of an “add extra member” feature in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru and marks the next step in exploring different ways for people who want to share their account to pay a bit more.

In the “add at home feature”, each Netflix account – whatever the plan – will include one home where customers can enjoy Netflix on any of their devices.

To use a Netflix account in additional homes, it will ask members to pay an extra [219 Pesos per month per home in Argentina / $2.99 per month per home in the Dominican Republic / $2.99 per month per home in Honduras / $2.99 per month per home in El Salvador / $2.99 per month per home in Guatemala]. Members on the Basic plan will be able to add one extra home, Standard up to two extra, and Premium up to three extra.

Members will be able to watch while outside the home on their tablet, laptop or mobile.

Members will soon be able to control where their account is being used – and remove homes at any time – from their account settings page.
